Wanderer | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

May 8, 2014

The Wanderer lit the world on fire today with clients Joe Connell and Nan Dalton. This hard fishing duo had there hands full on the flagship with not one, but TWO big Marlin releases.

Nan was all over the first fish of the day and, with First Mate Alex’s help on the fighting chair managed to reel this first big monster all the way to the boat.

Joe matched her with a MASSIVE Marlin of his own. Both of these black beauties are definitely in the over 400lbs. club:

Either of these Marlin can be considered the ‘fish-of-a-lifetime’, and to get two in one day is truly astounding. Great performance on the first of four straight fishing days on the Wanderer for Joe and Nan.

Jake Winchester has made himself a regular with the FishingNosara team with a half-dozen trips run in the last year. After a whole bunch of Extreme Panga Fishing he stepped up to the 31-foot Wanderer for his May 7 trip.

They tackled some tough Sailfish and notched the scorecard with two nice releases. This was the first time deep sea fishing for Tiffiney Walls from Enid, Oklahoma, but she fought this Sailfish like an old pro.

A special welcome awaited their return to Garza: this majestic Balena (‘whale’ in gringo) breeched the surface and slapped his tail, much to the delight of the clients.

Great fishing and great scenery on the big blue flagship Wanderer.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer and worldwide bow-hunting phenom TJ Conrads was on the Wanderer for a fantastic Double Sailfish release.

The day was otherwise a little slow, but this furious fifteen-minute fight is certainly a day’s worth of work.

Nice job by the Wanderer on these releases.

Seth Moore and the boys stayed on the action on May 4 with multiple Sailfish releases and some great simultaneous hook-ups.

First Mate Alex had his work cut out for him handling these super Sails, yet all were safe released like usual.

Great work by Captain William to keep his clients on the bite throughout the week.

Seth Moore and his boys are on board for several trips this week, and he got off to a fast start with a bunch of nice Yellowfin Tunas on ice.

They also walloped this huge Dorado…that’s a lot of filets!

Great work by the crew of the famous Wanderer on this excellent fishin’ mission.

Big catch on the Wanderer for Peter Sohlden’s crew. These guys put in the time this week with a full scorecard of Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Cubera Snapper. Only one thing was missing…

BOOM! Big Black Marlin on the mighty Wanderer!

They also added another Sailfish release to their haul to finish out a great week of fishing in Costa Rica.

Another day, another batch of Sailfish releases for Peter Sohlden and his posse.

These guys have been on fire all week!

These are all great looking fish, each easily over 150lbs.

They also added this tasty Yellowfin Tuna to polish of the trip.

It’s a welcome sight to see these 20lbs. football-sized Yella Fellas back in our area. They always come in the early summer, and the big Marlin are usually close behind!
